How cool would it be if we had a Texas vs Louisiana Opening Season Classic

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

alternate the sites between Lamar and McNeese St stadiums?

You know, I was wondering the other day if SETXSports would ever expand into Southwest Louisiana.

I think it would be really cool to see an opening season classic between teams from the two states, but I don't know that you would be able to use the college stadiums just because of their schedules.

[/quote]Thats why im saying alternate the stadiums. Woodard said he would like to open the season with McNeese so that leaves one of the stadiums open that particular weekend.

Ah. I did not know that. It might be feasible then.

I don't know much about Louisiana schools, but I would imagine their classifications are different than ours. How would that be accounted for?

[/quote]The 5A and 4A schools could match up together. I remember Kelly playing Sulphur a while back and Sulphur is 5A over there (when they played Kelly they were)

Actually, what is a bigger obstacle to such a showcase is the realignment cycles more than anything.  Texas and Louisiana are out of sequence (Texas realigns in even years...Louisiana in odd years).  Which means someone would be scrambling for an opponent.  That is tougher than we all know.

I remember back in 1999 when WB, WO-S, and Jasper had a jamboree scrimmage with Sulphur! Both teams played great against the Golden Tors! I'd wish we'd do it again! That was a lot of fun!

BH is thinking outside of the box , we open with Mexico! looking to put Canada on the schedule next year ;)

You won't get many quality teams in Lake Charles area unless you get towards Lafayette, New Orleans, or north towards Shreveport. A fews years back after Katrina, I would've put South Plaquemines HS against any team in this area and they were only 1A. The kids from New Orleans moved down to Plaquemines and they ran the table beating 5A schools.

I would be interested in seeing one of the best Texas 5a teams against West Monroe LA rebels. My wife is from that town when we went I was amazed at all the state Championships they have.

[dustoff03]

lc-m used to scrimmage sulfur back in the late 80's and early 90's

[BADSANTA]

Silsbee use to play LaGrange in the early 90's.

[GTBBaseball]

Rules have changed in Louisiana so seeing a Louisiana school playing Texas schools probably wont occur very often
The LA Schools run a "power ranking system" to align the top 32 teams for the playoffs so playing Texas schools give them Zero points.
Its the same for high school baseball, so doubt this is something that would occur because La high schools need those points each Friday night and heading to play Tx schools doesnt benefit them point wise.

I've been wanting to see Nederland, PNG, or even Vidor play Sulphur.
